Hi, I am trying to adapt the yocto autobuilder so I can build my own yocto system with it. I have run in to a problem, I can't find a documentation about the autobuilder. Can some one point one out to me?

ripperD: you'll need to read tools/Makefile.am and figure out where it decided to use target tools when it should be using native. that makefile sets CXX_FOR_BUILD which is a native compiler, but its then using a cross-libtool.

So, I sent out a lib/bb/utils.py patch a while back for mkdirhier() to prevent spurious 0777 directories, but it doesn't seem to be merged. I don't see any responses saying there's problems with it, though. RP?

My concern is just that I think anything past 755 should be at least a little considered, or else we might, not-at-all hypothetically, end up with intermediate directories being 777 during the build. Which is potentially risky.

RP: I wonder why I don't see failures from such cases in test-dependencies builds (which are also reusing all deps from sstate and rebuilding just one component), so pruned dependency on pkgconfig-native should probably fail there as well
